He took on a wrongful death case of a boy that fell into a gravel pit and died. The case was three years old and the only witness had since died. He hired a photographer and doctor as expert witnesses. Schlichtmann met with reed who talked only of himself. Reed tried to talk schlichtmann out of his pilot case.
